Fix what's broken, and stop illegal immigration

The New York Times says we Americans want “the president to fix what’s broken and to spend less.” OK, we can begin fixing the problem by developing the will to enforce our immigration laws that were created to protect American workers. This in turn will turn off the jobs magnet that brings people here illegally and begin to cut the costs associated with supporting those people the paper’s editorial board believes are entitled to the same consideration and benefits as citizens and legal residents.

Major media outlets like the Times should begin holding accountable those politicians at all levels of government that for years have created incentives for illegal immigration. How about encouraging states, for example, to stop hanging out welcome signs advertising cheaper college tuition, drivers licenses, accepting the “unreliable” Mexican matricula consular, etc., etc.?
